Rhys, shocker, actually took the hint and left.

Silence dropped over the room like a heavy curtain.

I knew Ashton had just gone full Gladiator mode for me.

Which was… weirdly touching, considering we were basically strangers who just happened to have a fake engagement contract and three awkward encounters under our belts.

‘Thanks for that,’ I mumbled.

Ashton shrugged. ‘Don’t thank me. He was pissing me off.’

He stood up, gaze flicking to my wrist where Rhys’s Neanderthal grip had left faint marks. He frowned.

My phone started screaming.

Caroline’s name lit up the screen like a warning siren.

Yeah, no thanks.

I hit decline without blinking.

Five seconds later, the phone started ringing again. Persistent like a debt collector.

Sighing, I stabbed the answer button and held it to my ear. ‘What?’

I barely got the word out before a full-on banshee shriek exploded from the speaker.

‘Mirabelle! How dare you hit your sister in front of everyone at the party?!’

Ah. Serenna or Catherine must hav

  • I Slapped My Fiancé—Then Married His Billionaire Nemesis   Chapter 321 Nobody’s Perfect

    Naomi seemed genuinely interested in helping. She even came up with a plan.‘I’ll show Ryan this statement and ask him why he transferred money to some woman named Catherine. I’ll ask if he’s keeping a mistress, if he’s done something to betray me. He’ll panic and want to explain himself. He’ll have to tell me the truth.’She nodded as she spoke, looking very pleased with her own idea.I was about to suggest the same thing. ‘That would be perfect. I don’t know how to thank you. I know I shouldn’t be bothering you with all this, especially now you’re pregnant. But I really need to know if what I suspect is true. I don’t think I can let this go until I know for sure.’‘Don’t worry, I’ll definitely help you. Leave it to me. And try not to overthink it. I’m sure Ashton had his reasons.’ She squeezed my hand reassuringly. ‘Really, I can tell

  • I Slapped My Fiancé—Then Married His Billionaire Nemesis   Chapter 320 Who’s the Liar?

    Naomi sounded puzzled. ‘What is it? So mysterious that you can’t even let me tell Ryan?’‘I’ll explain everything over dinner. You’re the only one who can help me with this.’‘Okay, okay, don’t worry. I won’t say a word. Where shall we meet?’ Naomi could tell I was serious and quickly agreed.‘You choose. But are you sure it’s alright, in your condition?’ I knew how protective Ryan Fenty was about her and their unborn baby.‘It’s fine, really. Let’s meet at The Galleria. I’ll go there this afternoon to look at some baby things, and we can have dinner when you finish work.’‘Alright, but please be careful. I wouldn’t bother you like this if I had anyone else to ask. I feel terrible asking you to come out while you’re pregnant. Ryan would probably blame me if he found out.’But I needed to know the truth. Ev

  • I Slapped My Fiancé—Then Married His Billionaire Nemesis   Chapter 319 A Bitter Pill To Swallow

    ‘Genevieve, of course. Who else?’ Rhys didn’t hesitate to tell me.‘So, Genevieve gave you all this?’ I frowned, staring at him in disbelief. ‘She’s the one who gave it to you?’‘Yes, she did. She wants to drive a wedge between you and Ashton. But that doesn’t change the fact that it’s all true.’ He seemed past caring about hiding it. ‘I guess she was testing Ashton too. She wanted to see who he would choose to protect—her or you. And she won.’Yeah, she won. That truth was a bitter pill to swallow.‘At least in this, Ashton was completely on her side. He shielded her, even found a scapegoat to take the fall. She gave me this because she wanted to taunt you. She’s basically telling you to bow out.’Every word felt like a knife twisting in my chest.‘Stop it!’ I said, unable to take any more.‘Denial doesn&rsquo

    A slight smile touched Rhys’s lips when he saw me. ‘You came.’He quickly got out of the car and came to my side. ‘Mirabelle… you still trust me, then.’‘I don’t trust you. I just want to see what game you’re playing,’ I said, my voice cold.‘That’s alright. You’ll believe that I’m not playing games this time. You’ll believe coming to lunch with me was worth it. Where would you like to go?’ His eyes were soft, his tone gentle.‘The restaurant across the road,’ I said. I was only here for the truth, not for him.‘Alright.’The restaurant was fairly busy. I asked for a private booth.Once we’d ordered, I got straight to the point. ‘Where’s this proof you mentioned?’‘Are you really in that much of a hurry?’ Rhys looked at me with wounded eyes, but I felt nothing.&lsqu

  • I Slapped My Fiancé—Then Married His Billionaire Nemesis   Chapter 317 Fall Guy

    I spent the night tossing and turning.Catherine was behind everything?Somehow, part of me refused to believe it.It wasn’t that I still had any sisterly feelings for her. It was just that… it didn’t seem like her.She was catty and vengeful, and she wasn’t above resorting to low tricks to get at me.But her tactics usually involved spreading rumours, backstabbing, or sabotaging my relationships.I’d have more readily believed if she’d tried to seduce Ashton than hired a gunman to kill me.Where would she even go to find people like that?But Ashton’s network of contacts was far more powerful than mine, and I had no reason to doubt what his men had dug up.Besides, Catherine had confessed, hadn’t she?Shaking those thoughts away, I dragged myself out of bed when the alarm rang.Against the doctors’ wishes and mine, Ashton had checked out of the hospita

  • I Slapped My Fiancé—Then Married His Billionaire Nemesis   Ashton’s POV: The One Person I Couldn’t Touch

    Harry entered the room.‘Mr Laurent, we’ve confirmed that the ones who sabotaged Mrs Laurent’s studio, and the ones who tried to run her down and then shot at her… they were all hired by the same guy. He’s a middleman, and he works for… Genevieve Crawford.’I stared back at Harry. ‘No mistakes?’Truth was, I trusted Harry’s competence. He wouldn’t get something like this wrong.‘No. I’ve checked multiple times. It’s her. We also have a witness. Should I bring him in?’I rubbed my throbbing head; the wound in my abdomen ached dully. ‘Not now.’‘What would you like me to do next?’ Harry asked.‘Nothing. Not yet.’‘Understood.’‘And Mira must not find out about this.’Harry nodded. ‘Got it.’‘You can go now.’Once alone, I picked
